someone’s watching over me
i don’t know whether to laugh or cry anymore
So Quinn has always been susceptible to being told who she is. She’s the head cheerleader, she’s the most popular girl in school, she’s the girl who got pregnant, she’s nobody. She’s a Lima loser. You get the picture. Now add on top of that, the things she’s been told this year. Will told her she only cared about herself. Puck told her she was the most selfish person he’s ever met. Finn just told her that all that matters to her, is her.
If you’re repeatedly told something, it is so easy to start believing it. And given Quinn’s history, who could blame her? But that is why Quinn is amazing, and why she’s fast becoming one of my favourite characters ever. She doesn’t yield to what they make her out to be. She goes against the grain and proves them all wrong…AND DOESN’T EVEN LET THEM KNOW. No one but her and Santana will ever know, and it doesn’t matter to Quinn. Everyone can think she’s selfish, but what people think of her seems like the farthest thing on her mind when she’s watching Rachel walk up on stage in disbelief as people applaud her. It’s worth it for Quinn.

Also, can we thank Santana for “Stop making out with Berry”? She knows.
And if she didn’t know then she certainly did by the end of the night. Because what comes next is basically the ultimate romance plot trope and it’s being used for Faberry. The guy does something amazing and noble and self-sacrificing for the girl that would totally make her fall into his arms – only it would ruin it if she knew – so he doesn’t say a word – and sits in the corner while her skeevy, lunkhead jock boyfriend laps up all the kisses and hugs and warm fuzzy feelings that he deserves.
Because he loves her that much. Way too much to worry about what he could get out of it.
But Quinn is a girl and Rachel is a girl, so remember… you’re not supposed to swoon…
